I don't recall the CVE, it was likely months ago, and I wasn't in a position to argue.

The Cyber guy said that a few years ago (3?).

Ironically, in the past year, one of my employers specifically disallowed Firefox due to a CVE, saying that we were to use Chrome. A Cybersecurity professional once told me that Firefox is frowned upon because of CVEs.

Unsubscribe link from their emails takes you to this. You then to need to sign in with email and password (I don't know my password) to manage preference. I just want all out! in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

Blackout Kit: Where to find reliable recommendations/reviews of equipment? (reddthat.com)
 

I've seen several good recommendations for what equipment I need, but I don't know who to trust for reliable products. For example, flashlights and multi-tools. I see a lot of flashlights on Amazon, but I don't know if one is "better" than another.

I'm wondering if there's a "you can't go wrong with these brands/models" that's available.

i think I recall that the Bluetooth hardware is essentially an FM tuner. Just needed a wired headphone to use as an antenna. My Moto Stylus 2022 still has it.
